Trump lashes out at WH counsel over Russia probe

AP

President Trump is growing increasingly irritated with his team for their handling of the Russia investigation, and he's taken many of his frustrations out on his White House counsel, Don McGahn, a loyal Trump defender and early campaign supporter.

Politco reports that Trump laid into McGahn during an Oval Office meeting Monday for failing to do more to dispel the investigation. Meanwhile, the Russia case has been passed onto Trump's personal lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, leaving McGahn to work on more routine WH duties.

Between the lines: Trump's willingness to turn McGahn reveals how eager he is to scapegoat someone for his legal dilemma, and underscores an issue that has plagued the WH for months: "No top aide is immune from the president's anger or being called out in front of colleagues, even long-time loyalists like McGahn" writes Politico.

[ Bad mouths bills he wants passed, executive orders he wants the courts to uphold, blames his subordinates and loyalists for problems he creates, resists blaming Russia for months then admits it when he thinks he can blame it on Obama. Genius.


Blaming Obama for letting Russia meddle with election and do nothing significant about it is very fair. But it's also fair to ask what HE's going to do about it now. ]
